Targeting the keynoter

Bush’s re-election campaign has been crowing about enlisting Sen. Zell Miller, a Georgia Democrat, to keynote the convention on Wednesday night. Bush’s handlers see Miller as a way to signal conservative Democrats that Bush is their kind of guy – not Kerry.

Miler’s Democratic critics have established a website – Zellout.com – to show their disapproval of the one-term Georgia senator changing sides to join Bush forces.

Democratic activist Eric Carbone says his operation has gathered 4,000 signatures from Democrats urging Miller to admit “you're a Republican registered as a Democrat.”
